Whatever idiosyncratic stuff you do that helps you get into the zone for a long coding session is perfectly fine. Shortly after landing my first job out of college, I picked up Orbital's first two albums and listened to them nonstop with a bit of Autechre and Aphex Twin while coding. After I left that job, I misplaced the Orbital albums, but kept listening to Autechre and Aphex Twin while doing other stuff. Last week I picked up Orbital 1 and 2 again, and put them on while coding. BAM right into the zone. Probably won't work for you, but it works for me.
